Danielle lewsey Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Hi guys. Can anyone help explain a bit about the new skilled migration visas. I know there is a medium to long term skilled occupation list(up to 4 year visa) and a short term skilled occupation list (up to two year visa). If your occupation is on the short term list, after the 2 years that you are given do you HAVE to leave the country? As I know you can no longer apply for PR after this visa. What other options are there after your 2 years on this visa are up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrussell Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Posssibly another 2-year visa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 If you have a skill thats required, cant you go for PR right away? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VERYSTORMY Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 If you are only looking at sponsored visas such as a 457, then yes, the long term list allows a 4 year visa and the short term a 2 year extendable by a further 2 years. But, occupations on both lists may be eligible for a permanent visa from day one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
